To Mr Robt. Lisle at Morpeth
Newcastle 20 March 1756
Dr. Sir
Your Bro[the]r has shewn me yo[u]r Letter to him, by wch I find something has happend since wee left you yesterday that you do not well like; I do not expect that the Lessees will send in a Bond for the Ballance of the acct. as it is settled & agreed to by all parties, therefore I hope Mr Ord will make an Award & put an End to this troublesome affair as he thinks consistent with Justice to all Parties, whcih will be satisfactory to Sr. Walter Blackett who desires to have an End made of it. I apprehend the last half years Rent cannot be included in the award, because it became due only on the 12th instant, which is after the date of the Bonds, & if the award should take in the acct. to the 12th Sept last, the ballance will be £100 more than the Penalty of the Bonds, wch I apprehend the Lessees as they are not a little littigious may dispute the paym[en]t of, but if it is consistent with the Arbitration Bonds, for Mr Ord to award the ballance as it stood the 12th Sept. 1754, exclusive of all Rent become due since that time the Ballance then will be less than £500 as below, & in my Opinion would prevent any Dispute that could arise afterwards, but of this you are a better judge than I can possibly be. I am etc JR
